Angel Island
Parts unknown
As the days went by Draco and Hermione stopped counting the days they were on the Island now. In fact it was exactly six months since they were marooned. Over time a routine that was comfortable with them both was established.
They were no where closer to solving the parchment mystery . Also a change had begun to come over Hermione. Hermione seemed to be gaining weight and for Draco it made her more beautiful as she had been in his eyes very thin to begin with.
Hermione was a bit confussled as she tried to put on one of her freshly cleaned and laundered pair of shorts. She frowned at her stomach and vowed to herself to work out and lose the weight she seemed to be gaining. 
"I'm getting fat."
Hermione said this to her reflection in the glass as she stood there and looked at her profile. Draco who had been outside spearing fish for their dinner came in at that moment as she stood there stark naked frowning at her reflection. 
"No your not sweetheart and even if so it gives me more to love. Besides it's not all bad.."
As Draco said this he smirked and for a moment just watched her. Her breasts had gotten a bit bigger and he was very happy with that. Hermione raised an eyebrow at him and scowled. "You smell awful Draco. What have you been doing? Also what do you mean it's not all bad. Do you really want a big fat pig for a wife?"
As she asked this she put on a dress that was still a bit loose. Draco just went to the wash stand and splashed some water on his face and washed his hands."I got some fish and I cleaned them the way you showed me. Also you look beautiful and so what you gained a bit of weight it's not a bad thing I mean your curvy..It's better than you being too thin and you were quite thin before."
As he said this he meant it and came over too wrap his arms around her and placed his chin on the top of her head a moment. "Draco bath now!"
Hermione said pulling away from him and shaking her head. "Only if you join me.."
Draco countered as he began to remove his shirt and his shorts and then stood there naked as the day he was born. The months on the island in contrast to Hermione had been good for Draco physically as he was more in shape now with all the wood chopping and physical labor he was doing. Hermione for a moment forgot everything but looked at this man. Her husband in his full glory and smiled to herself.
Draco got into the tub of water and closed his eyes a moment before he opened them and looked at her."Come join me please Hermione Jean Malfoy."
He asked simply as a statemrnt and not at all as a command. She nodded removing her dress and joined him and relaxed in her husbands arms. "Relax love. Don't worry about anything. I was thinking well I have an idea and I want your oppinion please."
As Draco said these words her was rubbing her shoulders and kissing her collarbone. "Okay tell me and oh.. That feels rather nice.. "
Hermione said this as he kissed along her ear a moment gently over and around the shape of her left earlobe. "I think we should explore the Island. I was looking at the map earlier and there is more ruins perhaps or atleast dwellings on it and I figured we could go and see what those are."
As Draco said this he turned her to face him and they looked at eachother eye to eye. Gray unto golden brown. Hermione nodded slowly and leaned in kissing him. Draco groaned and wrapped her in his arms and held her. For a few minutes neither spoke and just were content with the silence and peace settled between them.
Hermione finally spoke after a bit of thought and reflection on his idea. She had weighted the options as she knew that it would be something new for them to do as well as she had in the back of her mind wondered about that. She nodded and told him."I think that is a good point and since we are making this our home we should atleast see what is here. After all maybe there are other food things and or ways to catch fish or hunt. I have been wondering a bit about that for some time now myself."
As Hermione said this Draco nodded and he kissed the top of her head then along the bridge of her nose and smiled."As have I. Our home.. This is our home now. Your my home and we are eachothers. I would like to know our kingdom my Queen."
Draco said this wriggled an eyebrow and was rewarded with a splash from Hermione. Soon they were both laughing and splashing eachother and acting like children. After a bit both just looked at eachother and laughed and cuddled. "The water is getting a bit chilly."
Hermione said after awhile as in their playing an hour had passed and the water had begun to cool a bit now. "Come I'll warm you up a bit my King and we can discuss the trip. Also what supplies to take as it might be more than a day to where the dwellings are. "
Hermione said this getting up and wrapping a towel around herself and smiled as Draco just for a moment watched her and looked at her with the eyes of someone deeply in love. Hermione knew her own gaze mirrored his as she smiled and then took off the towel threw it to him and made her way out of the bathroom.
Draco was on his feet and out of the tub before she was able to walk a few fet. He scooped her up easily and carried her to their bedroom and they cuddled. They began to plan their journey and decided to go the next day at day break. "It's a plan. But are you feeling up to it? I know here lately you've been a bit sick from eating meat and fish. How is your stomach feeling right now even?"
Draco asked her this as for a month now she had been feeling queasy. He told himself that she had to be right about just being sick from the fish and or small animals they were consuming that she was not used to eating. A Part of him for the last few days had however imagined it was something else and he went from worrying to the ridiculous idea that she was pregnant.
Draco knew that was not possible as he had the charm placed on him and it was not reversed and did not have a time limit on it unless a spell was cast by his physician. However the thought that he could not give them a baby weighed on his mind and he mentally kicked himself over it. "I feel fine actually. Not so queasy anymore atleast not at the moment. I felt a little sick earlier but somehow I am starving now. It seems a bit weird but I think the sea air makes me hungrier. "
Hermione told him as they got up and got dressed and went to preparing dinner. They shared the responsibility and the work as they both cooked and enjoyed a meal of lobster and crab. They ate by the candle light as per usual and then when they were finished they shared cleaning up and went to relax in the hammock as the sun set.
As they swayed in the tropical breeze for a moment they just were relaxed. Draco's arms around Hermione was her safe haven and she had closed her eyes and relaxed in them with her head on his chest. She listened to his heart beat and was soothed by it's rhythm. Draco's hands were on her belly and he massaged it unconsciencely as he held her close. All of a sudden however he felt something move and Draco's just froze a moment as he had been massaging her belly and back. Hermione fell asleep as Draco just was in thought as it moved again against his palm and he looked silently at his sleeping wife. "It's not possible. I mean we'd know right? Hermione would know and have told me if she was..Hermione baby wake up I have to ask you something.."
Draco said this a bit alarmed but also gently. For a moment his mind was going fast and furious to one thought and then another but as she stirred and looked up at him questioningl;y he for a moment felt the breath leave him. "Draco what in the world? What's wrong? You have gotten really pale and your hand is shaking baby."
Hermione asked this in concern as she leaned up and kissed him trying to calm him down. As she did kiss him he grew calmer and nodded to himself. "I'm fine love just I had the most assinine thought for a moment there is all. I'm sorry I woke you but..." "What is it? Tell me Dray please.Your worrying me a bit!" " I felt... it move and well I know this is silly..""You felt what move? ""Your stomach right here I felt it move and.. Well is it possible that.."
For a moment neither of them spoke as the moment he touched and placed his hand on her belly it moved and they both felt it this time. Shock came to both their faces as they both looked at eachother and neither spoke for a moment. However Draco was the first to speak and asked plainly. "Am I going to be a Father? Are you pregnant Hermione?""Because if it's true, then I'm rather happy about it."
Hermione looked at Draco in shock as for a moment she placed her hand over his a moment and didn't know what to say. Her mind for a moment whirled with thoughts and they were rapid and confusing. "Draco what are you talking about? It's not possible as you had yourself protected and.. and it's rather silly."
As Hermione was saying this she however for a moment felt something again but didn't know what was going on. The more she thought about it however..
"I know what I felt and am feeling right now. Yes I know it sounds ridiculous.
Draco saw the look in her eyes and the fact they were for the moment brimming with tears. He saw fear and that she was confused as much as he was about it. Draco just relaxed and he wanted to tell her how happy he was, how he had dreamt of the day they would have a child together and he was about to speak when she turned a moment away from him and looked down at herself and began to cry. "Draco it's not possible. I mean your protected and there has been no one else. It must be something else and I'm scared because I didn't want to worry you but I.. I've felt movement for awhile now. I told myself it wasn't possible and.. I'm scared."How long and why be scared? We're having a baby and that's a wonderful thing love."
Draco said and asked her this as he placed an arm around her and began to hug and cuddle her to him. He wiped the tears out of her eyes and was about to kiss her when she shook her head and looked at him. As their eyes met her eyes began to take on a golden hue.
" I'm two months late. I didn't get my monthly and If I am.. If I am preg.. I can't say it I'm sorry but if it's true then I have so many fears. What if the baby isn't healthy and what if he or she dies? What if I died? Draco why are you looking at me like that?
"Hermione love, your eyes.. "What do you mean my eyes? "
"They are glowing gold at the moment.
In that moment her eyes were now sparkling gold and as Draco watched her a moment she began to glow in her hair as well until a mass of chestnut curls now descended down to her waist and then to both their surprise wings began to sprout on their own accord across her back.
Draco.. Draco what is happening? What is wrong with me?"
"Your a bloody Veela.
